Pantera Lithium (ASX:PFE) executive chairman and CEO Barnaby Egerton-Warburton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest progress in the Smackover lithium brine play in southwest Arkansas. He discussed the company’s drilling plans for three wells, which will contribute to a JORC resource, a pre-feasibility study (PFS), and a pilot plant—steps that move Pantera closer to production. Egerton-Warburton highlighted that Pantera has secured an exclusive abstract over 50,000 acres, leasing 26,000 acres so far. The company has also identified optimal locations for drilling, expecting to begin spudding the first well in the next few months. “We are in the hot spot, surrounded by majors like Exxon, Equinor, and Albemarle. Their presence validates the play,” he explained. Discussing lithium market conditions, he dismissed concerns over weak electric vehicle (EV) demand and pointed to strong sales, particularly in China. He expects a lithium price recovery by 2027 as demand outstrips supply. Pantera Lithium sees North America developing a localised lithium supply chain, reducing reliance on Chinese market dynamics. For investors, Egerton-Warburton emphasised Pantera’s unique positioning as the only junior lithium explorer in this area, offering potential upside compared to larger players. He noted that success in drilling could significantly de-risk the project and enhance shareholder value. Stay tuned for more updates on Pantera Lithium’s progress.

GoviEx Uranium CEO Daniel Major talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest milestone—the completion and filing of the feasibility study for its Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia. Major explained that the study underscores the project's simplicity, highlighting its open-pit heap leaching operation, low technical risk, and strong economics. GoviEx is targeting production by 2028, with financial preparations already in progress. The company has appointed Endeavor Financial to lead the debt financing process and has begun outreach to potential lenders. Meanwhile, environmental approvals are expected by year-end, paving the way for construction. Discussing uranium market dynamics, Major pointed to a growing supply deficit and increasing demand from utilities. Despite market uncertainties, term contracts remain strong at around $80 per pound. He also noted shifting supply chains, with African uranium playing a more prominent role due to restrictions on Russian and Kazakh supply. "The market needs these projects," Major stated. "GoviEx with Muntanga is one of those projects that can come in and support and fill that gap." Watch the full interview for more insights.

Empire Metals Ltd (AIM:EEE) managing director Shaun Bunn talked with Proactive about the company's latest metallurgical test results at the Pitfield project. The test work delivered an impressive 91.6% purity titanium dioxide compound—achieved on the first attempt. Bunn emphasised that this high-grade product is free from deleterious contaminants, making it suitable for further processing into titanium sponge metal or premium-grade titanium pigments. He explained that the team successfully extracted and refined the titanium-bearing minerals using gravity separation, flotation, and acid digestion techniques. The company is now focused on optimising its processing flow sheet and scaling up test work. Recent bulk metallurgical sample collections at Pitfield will support larger-scale testing, with the goal of producing more of this high-grade product for market analysis. Bunn also highlighted that the simplicity of Pitfield's mineral composition, free from heavy metals or radioactive elements, has contributed to the rapid progress in refining processes. With further purification testing ahead, Empire Metals is poised to advance its titanium strategy. For more insights from this interview, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp (TSX-V:PINN, OTCQB:NRGOF) president and CEO Robert Archer talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest acquisition, the El Potrero mine in Mexico. Archer explained that the company is focused on fast-tracking the project towards production within two to three years, aiming to build the business through cash flow rather than relying on external markets. El Potrero was previously in production in the late 1980s, with existing underground workings and a 100-ton-per-day processing plant. Archer highlighted that much of the infrastructure remains in place, which should help streamline redevelopment efforts at a relatively low cost. The company plans to rehabilitate the underground workings, conduct systematic sampling, and commence drilling to establish a resource base sufficient to restart production. On the financial side, Pinnacle Silver recently raised $800,000 in a private placement, with plans to secure up to $2–$3 million over the next few years to fully fund the restart. Archer also shared insights from the PDAC conference, noting positive sentiment around metals despite broader economic uncertainties. The company expects a strong news flow this year as exploration and development efforts accelerate. For more updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
